Radegast, Light Client for SL & OpenSim, Seeking Successor

Radegast, a lightweight viewer for Second Life and OpenSim, ceased development a few months ago, as lead developer Latif Khalifa withdrew due to reported RL health reasons. "Radegast is open source," Latif noted in the departure announcement, "so if there is interest people could continue improving it." So far it seems no one has taken up the reigns, which is a shame, as it could be a good alternative for running SL applications on a low-end machine (possibly on mobile?)

Hat tip on this to Snickers Snook, who gave me some more background via Twitter:

@slhamlet P.S. Lots of people use Radegast to play HUD-based games in SL or to do IMs on multiple grids or avas. It's light on resources.

@slhamlet Latif made the announcement quietly and never responded to any comments. Users? No idea but I would guess over 1000.

Thanks Wagner. At least one person has copied the code over to Github I think but I don't know if anyone has discussed formal plans for Radegast.
